“Go see movies with people. Have fun. Don't take life too serious. Life is short. And when you die, you're dead. And I've never looked over the casket, and the guy's like, does my tie look good? Is my Botox good? Nobody cares. Live today. Live today full of faith, full of vigor, full of fun. Enjoy something. Come on. Go eat some ice cream. Go watch a movie. Laugh a little. Love a little. Look at your neighbor and say, I can do this sermon.”

“Am I helping anybody besides me? Raise your hand. Look at your neighbor and say, you look better already. It looks like you had Botox. Was just in twenty minutes. Look at this. But remember, your battery goes low, then you go low, then you run off, and you start sending text, getting mad, and ruining your life. Elijah wasn't running from Jezebel. He was actually running on empty. Your car has a gas gauge. Anybody know exactly how far it can go even when it's on e? Come on. Raise your hand.”

You gotta sleep. Come on. Say you gotta sleep. If not, you're gonna stress out and you're gonna run from problem to problem. Now for the sake of time, the angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him again and said, get up and eat for the journey is too much for you.”

And so stress now distorts reality. Stress distorts reality. It's not as bad as you think. Anybody ever had this happen?”

“"I'm here to tell you, go out this week and find somebody that's down and bring them up. Shouting to God with a voice of triumph. It'd be like singing the old song. Give me the key of G. Everybody stand up everywhere. Remember the movie Whoopi Goldberg? Remember when she started singing Whole Happy Day? If you don't remember it, you need to go rent it today, okay?"”
25s
“"If you can give me just today, one day, we don't have to talk about you being free tomorrow or next month. Can we just do today? What a revolution that would do in your mind if you'd reset your body and say, can I just eat right today? Can I just not worry today? Can I just not bust a cap in somebody today? That's a word. Just today. You can always do it tomorrow."”

And keep on taking."”
